The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

The three heads of the family signed a humiliating treaty.

However, Tang Hao did not rush to announce. Instead, in the name of the Japanese emperor and shogun, he summoned daimyo from all over the country to come to Kyoto to discuss matters.

In fact, this step started half a month ago.

The reason why these big names are called here is also very simple.

That is to let them witness with their own eyes that the Japanese country has changed its master!

The Japanese emperor and the shogun are still puppet mascots, but from now on, the people who really hold the power of the Japanese country are no longer the famous names of the Japanese country, but the Ming Dynasty!

Of course, there were naturally many local lords who resisted and rebelled.

The messengers sent out by Tang Hao were not weak civil servants, but a team of strong and sharp soldiers of the Ming Dynasty!

All the generals led their armies to the Kanto region, the Northeast region, the China region, the Kyushu region, the Shikoku region... Their mission was very simple, wipe out all disobedients and massacre all rebellions!

This process is destined to take a long time, but it has to be done.

If you want the Ming Dynasty's colonization in the Japanese country to proceed smoothly, and if you want the Ming Dynasty's rule in the Japanese country to be long-term and stable, then death and killing must spread to every inch of the Japanese land, so that these despicable Japanese people will deeply root their fear of the Ming Dynasty in the Japanese country. In the mind, in the bone marrow!

Only in this way will they not rebel and dare not rebel!

Only then can future colonization plans proceed smoothly!

Two months passed by in a flash. These two months were simply a hellish nightmare for the people of Japan!

The Ming army ruthlessly slaughtered the Japanese country. They massacred the city at every turn, burned, killed and looted. It can be said that they committed all kinds of evil. The country was full of broken limbs and mountains of corpses. It was a scene of hell everywhere!

When the strong had completely conquered the weak, the servility in the Japanese's bones began to take effect.

When they desperately discovered that it was impossible to defeat these extremely powerful Ming armies, a large number of Japanese warriors naturally chose to kneel down and seek refuge. So after consulting Tang Hao and getting his consent, a group of generals also set up an auxiliary army. The soldiers were composed exclusively of Japanese warriors.

To put it bluntly, they were just a group of cannon fodder, but they played a very positive role in the Ming army's occupation after the war.

When the weak realize that the strong is too powerful to defeat, the weak will reveal their true nature and bow at the feet of the strong with heartfelt respect. This is the deep-rooted servility in the bones of the Japanese.

Referring to the U.S. military garrison after World War II and the post-war Japanese government's encouragement of women to offer physical comfort to the U.S. military, we can see the bad nature of the nation and its lack of integrity and dignity.

Why are there so many mixed-races among the famous Japanese actresses?

This is the historical reason.

At this moment, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty also enjoyed the same treatment, but unfortunately it was war time, so they all clearly refused and did not dare to violate military orders.

Under the escort of the Ming army, all the noble names from all over the Japanese country were forcibly escorted to Kyoto.

The next step is naturally to hold the succession ceremony of Brother Shengren.

It's a pity that brother Shengren, who is about to fulfill his long-cherished wish and the future king of Japan, is not only not happy at this moment, but is in a state of confusion and despair all day long.

Because he knew very well that he would become the eternal sinner of the Yamato nation!

Even if one day the Yamato nation can break free from the enslaving control of these Ming army executioners, Katsuhito, Emperor Go-Kashiwara, will still be notorious and will still be reviled by all generations!

On the eve of the enthronement ceremony, Tang Hao finally waited for the person he had been waiting for - Ming reinforcements!

Led by Chen Kuan, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, and Guo Xun, the Marquis of Wuding, personally led the team, 20,000 Ming soldiers took warships and arrived at Hyogojin in a mighty manner.

At this moment, all the Japanese who saw this scene fell into complete despair!

Not only did the Ming army have no intention of withdrawing, but they sent more Ming troops. At this moment, the total number of Ming troops in Yamato territory exceeded 30,000!

What a terrifying number this is?

Ten thousand Ming soldiers can sweep across the entire Yamato Kingdom!

Now that the Ming army's strength has increased to 30,000, how can Yamato resist?

Tang Hao personally rushed to Hyogojin to greet Chen Kuan and Guo Xun.

"Tang Hou, you really did it!"

Chen Kuan's face was a little pale. Obviously, taking a boat to sea was a very hard ordeal for his old bones.

Tang Hao asked slightly in surprise: "Why did Dajue come in person? I thought it was Zhang Yong!"

Chen Kuan smiled when he heard this and explained in a low voice: "Zhang Yong has already entered the ceremonial prison. Your Majesty originally intended to send Zhang Yong here, but we persuaded him not to do so."

"Zhang Yong still needs time to grow up in the Bureau of Ceremonies. It's time for this old man in our family to retire, so he took the initiative to take on this job. After returning to the country, he will resign and go to guard the tomb of the late emperor. !”

As soon as these words came out, Tang Hao's face changed slightly.

"Why did Daxuan do this?"

"Did anything happen in the capital?"

"Haha!" Chen Kuan hurriedly explained: "Marquis Tang doesn't need to worry too much, the situation in the capital is fine now."

"Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao and Chief Assistant Yang Ting are about to have their brains knocked out. Your Majesty is enjoying the show."

"As for the resignation, our family has a premonition that the end is approaching, and His Majesty has already agreed. We want to do something for the Ming Dynasty before we die."

Tang Hao was startled when he heard this, and then sighed.

"Great and righteous."

"Then the position of the eunuch who is the chief of etiquette..."

"Leave it to Xiao Jing!" Chen Kuan said with a smile: "Don't worry, Marquis Tang. Xiao Jing is a man of prudent character, and he is a confidant of the late Emperor and is loyal to His Majesty."

"In addition, after he serves for a maximum of one year, he will step down and hand over his position to Zhang Yong."

This may be the best arrangement.

After all, Zhang Yong has high qualifications. It is not a good thing for him to become the eunuch of the palm print within less than a year after joining the ceremonial department.

After all, in the palace, backstage and seniority are most valued.

Zhang Yong has the background, but he lacks some flexibility and means, so he can only make up for it through seniority.

The two briefly exchanged information, and Tang Hao stopped abruptly. This was not the place to talk.

He looked at Wu Dinghou Guo Xun, the nominal second Wu Xun. At this moment, he had gained some weight due to years of pampering.

"Fat Guo, lose this fat on your body, otherwise you won't even be able to ride a horse when I go out to conquer the northern barbarians!"

"Hahaha... what Master Hou taught me is to lose weight when you return to your humble job!" Guo Xun replied with a sneer.

He knew very well who his power came from, not to mention that when he was framed and thrown into prison, it was Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan, who took him out and returned him to his post.

So no matter what, Guo Xun was loyal to Tang Hao and made his identity and position clear!

Then Tang Hao looked at the next person, Zhu Dangqi, the returned king of Lu Fan, who was also the ambassador to Japan this time.

Speaking of which, this is what Tang Hao meant.

When he sent someone back to report the war situation, he brought a secret letter to Emperor Zhu Houzhao, roughly explaining the colonial plan for Japan, as well as the candidates for the ministers and generals stationed in Japan.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs in Japan is relatively simple. He must choose a civil servant, and he must be a close civil servant of Zhu Houzhao. Therefore, Tang Hao did not mention the candidate. Everything depends on Zhu Houzhao's own wishes.

After all, Tang Hao is a martial artist, not a powerful official. He must always maintain his identity.

You dare to interfere in the appointment of civil servants. Are you teaching His Majesty the Emperor how to do things?

Zhujiu Clan Warning...

As for the general stationed in Japan, Tang Hao recommended Zhu Dangqi.

The reasons are very simple, just a few.

First, Zhu Dangqi is a descendant of the clan, so he can never betray the Ming Dynasty.

Secondly, Zhu Dangqi is a talented person, brave and good at fighting, and has good martial arts. He can command 20,000 soldiers, which is enough to suppress all rebellions in the Japanese territory.

Thirdly, Zhu Dangqi's clan status can be used well, which will also help him plan for the future, that is, he can enfeoff vassal kings and establish a country overseas, so as to protect the country forever for the Ming Dynasty!

However, it is precisely because of Zhu Dangqi's clan status that he is a little sensitive.

After all, the general stationed in Japan has a heavy army, and the 20,000 elite soldiers are not just decorations. Once the emperor Zhu Houzhao has different intentions about this, I am afraid he will not give Zhu Dangqi this opportunity.

Fortunately, Zhu Dangqian can come, which proves that Emperor Zhu Houzhao made a decision and lived up to Tang Hao's hard work.

Tang Hao didn't recognize the last minister who was stationed in Japan. After Chen Kuan's introduction, he knew that this person was called Liang Chu. He was Zhu Houzhao's East Palace lecturer when he was the prince. In other words, he was Zhu Houzhao's former East Palace minister. A nominal half division.

Well, Zhu Houzhao's confidant and old minister, as expected.

The two parties had met each other, and Tang Hao was not in a hurry to return to Kyoto. After all, these people had just taken a boat out to sea and were exhausted. They needed to rest for a day.

At the banquet in the evening, everyone drank and exchanged glasses, and it was very lively.

After it was over, Tang Hao left Chen Kuan, Liang Chu, and Zhu Dangqi behind, and he had something to tell them.

The first thing is to ask about the situation in the capital.

I learned from Chen Kuan that after Tang Hao left Beijing, Zhu Houzhao followed his reminder and immediately asked the General Affairs Department to open the Ming Dynasty New Newspaper, a newspaper specifically for the common people. The result was an uproar. This act of opening up the people's wisdom is undoubtedly They wanted to cut off the gentry's local rule, so they firmly opposed it.

To give a simple example, for example, this newspaper stated that a certain place was hit by a disaster, and the court allocated 500,000 disaster funds. Then the people would probably have an idea in their minds after learning about it. According to the tacit understanding of the gentry in the past, then Naturally, they plundered them step by step, and in the end, the disaster money in the hands of the victims was not to mention 500,000 yuan. It was considered good to open a shed and give them porridge for a few days.

But after this newspaper is launched, the amount will be clear and clear, and the General Affairs Department will also establish a branch in the state capital. Then where the disaster money went, whose hands it passed through, and when it arrived in the disaster area will all be reported clearly and clearly. In this case, how could the gentry take advantage of the opportunity to commit corruption and steal money?

This is obviously cutting off people’s financial opportunities!

Another example is that this place is hit by a disaster. His Majesty the Emperor is benevolent and orders tax reductions and exemptions for this year in the disaster area. As soon as the newspaper publishes it and the public officials at the General Affairs Department tell the people, the people will be grateful for His Majesty the Emperor's great kindness. , we don’t have to pay taxes this year, so how can local gentry and local officials continue to plunder people’s wealth and wealth under clever names?

This is still ruining people’s financial paths!

To give another extreme example, in the past, the countryside was controlled by the gentry. They were educated, knowledgeable, and knowledgeable about laws and regulations. Therefore, when conflicts broke out among villagers in the countryside, these so-called gentry actually acted as arbitrators. The characters, they would do whatever they said the villagers should do, and they did not dare to question or resist. This is what is called having scholars to help the court educate the people.

However, once the newspaper is published, the common people will understand the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and they will know whether they are right or wrong, and know how the other party should be punished. After having a vague concept of the laws, these rural villagers will subconsciously go to the government and county government when conflicts arise again, instead of listening to the opinions of the gentry and gentry!

In other words, this is the destruction and shaking of the ruling power of the gentry and scholars!

So when the news of the newspaper came out, the gentry and gentry were furious, and they frantically impeached the Tongzhengshi Cong Lan, and advised the emperor to withdraw his order.

However, before Emperor Zhu Houzhao made a statement on this, another major event happened soon.

That is, the supervisory censor sent by Yang Tinghe to Nanchang, Jiangxi to investigate the evidence of Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao's attempted rebellion was unfortunately killed by bandits on the way back to Beijing. He died so dead that even his body could not be found, let alone any evidence of his crime.

Once this happened, the court was shaken instantly, and the civil officials and gentry could not care about the newspapers. They immediately united and pointed their spearheads at Guanglu Temple Minister Zhu Chenhao.

When Tang Hao heard this, he could not help but sigh with emotion.

This Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao is really a ruthless man. He killed people as the censor said. He is lawless and cruel.

Later, Zhu Chenhao accused Yang Tinghe of cultivating his own party and using public tools for private purposes, because the censor himself was not the censor of Jiangxi Dao, nor was he from Jiangxi. What was he doing in Nanchang, Jiangxi?

Yang Tinghe did not expect to be bitten back by Zhu Chenhao. In anger, he accused Zhu Chenhao of eliminating dissidents and raising assassins in Jiangxi, and also plundering the people's wealth with the intention of rebellion.

Anyway, it was just throwing dirty water on each other.

As a result, His Majesty the Emperor sat on the Diaoyutai, watching the show with relish, and did not care what the two sides said. He just asked for evidence, and it must be actual evidence to prove the other party's crimes.

Originally, Yang Tinghe was only one step away from getting the evidence, but the censor was killed and buried without a place to rest. How could he get the evidence? He could only stop.

On the contrary, Zhang Fuhua, the chief censor of the Censorate, was completely furious and resigned directly. The person who succeeded him as the chief censor was also an old official of the Eastern Palace, named Fei Hong. It is said that this person is upright, honest and capable, and is an absolutely virtuous and capable official. Therefore, although he is only 40 years old, he became the chief censor of the Censorate in one fell swoop and was unanimously recognized by civil officials and gentry.

In the past few months, these two major events in the capital of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be extremely exciting.

Of course, the main reason is the open and secret struggles between Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao and the Prime Minister Yang Tinghe, which makes people secretly shocked.

In this way, there will be no room for easing between the royal princes and civil officials and gentry, and one side will inevitably be defeated and lose its current power.

Tang Hao had nothing to think about this, as this was their real purpose of bringing the royal family into the court and praising and killing Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao.

After briefly understanding the situation in the capital, Tang Hao felt relieved for the time being.

Then he looked at Liang Chu, the minister stationed in Japan. This man was only in his forties, in the prime of his life. In addition, he was once Zhu Houzhao's half-master of the Eastern Palace, and was destined to become an important official in the court in the future.

"Liang Chu, this is what the Minister of Japan has to do, please keep it."

"Read it carefully, learn it well, and then put each item into practice."

"Especially the matter of opening a school to promote Confucianism is the top priority, and it must be implemented as soon as possible!"

"If you want to truly eliminate a nation, cultural purification is the complete destruction of the motherland. From then on, Japan will become an inseparable part of our Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the first priority of the Minister of Japan is to do everything possible to destroy Japan's cultural confidence, including but not limited to education, clothing, language, writing, customs and other aspects, purify the cognition of Japanese children, and make them feel a sense of belonging to our Ming Dynasty."

At first, Liang Chu was a little disapproving. He had no respect for the Ming Dynasty Zhongshan Marquis. After all, as a half-master of the Eastern Palace, did he need you, a military merit, to teach me how to govern?

As a result, when he heard what Tang Hao said later, Liang Chu sat up straight and squinted his eyes, looking very serious.

After he roughly flipped through the booklet, he took a breath of cold air.

Because the content of this booklet is simply teaching the minister stationed in Japan how to completely purify and eliminate the Japanese people, and completely turn this nation into a subordinate race of the Chinese nation from the root, and it is effective!

The only problem is that these speech methods are contrary to the Confucianism that Liang Chu has learned!

"Lord Tang, these... these methods... are they too..."

"Don't question, don't refuse, and don't be perfunctory, otherwise I will let your daughter experience the despair and pain of being raped and killed by the Japanese!"

Tang Hao said coldly, and then Liang Chu didn't dare to say anything.

Because the situation in Japan was chaotic, the court set a longer term for the minister stationed in Japan, which was rotated every five years. If something unexpected happened, he might have to stay for another ten years.

So Liang Chu went to sea with his family this time, and he happened to have two daughters.

"According to the contents of the booklet, implement them as soon as possible, I will send someone to keep an eye on you!"

"If you dare to change my measures or do things perfunctorily because of some bullshit compassion, I will make you regret it!"

Tang Hao said murderously: "You can have compassion, but not for these despicable Japanese people. They are no different from beasts. You will understand when you stay in Japan for a long time!"

Liang Chu sighed and nodded silently.

Then Tang Hao looked at Zhu Dangchu again, who looked solemn.

"Compared to Liang Chu, you have a heavier burden on your shoulders, but this is also the emperor's high hopes for you!"

"There is only one principle, no matter who dares to attack and kill my Ming soldiers, or rebel, then kill them!"

"It is better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go, and kill them until they are scared and dare not cause trouble!"

Zhu Dangchu nodded solemnly.

"I understand!"

"Work hard, the future of the royal family depends on you alone!"
